I have an msi 970, bios modded it and overclocked it. I have tested multiple games with it, performance increase is pretty big. I pushed this card to the limits, every game I played was on max settings at 1440p. I'm not sure if there is anyone here that has done the same thing I have, but I found this interesting so i'll share it here. I left the videos uncut. The 970 once overclocked can still be a very good card considering every game I tried had above 40fps, apart for gta. I'll link videos once they're uploaded.
First game I tried was; The Witcher 3.
Everything is on ultra and hair-works is on. Getting around 40fps on average, it does spike to 50 which you can see in the video but it did not stutter and felt very smooth when playing.
Second game I tried was; Far cry 5.
Once again, fully maxed out apart from resolution scale? I don't know what that is all that I know is it just tanks my fps. I get 50-60fps on max.

The last game I tried was; GTA5
Everything was maxed out except for msaa which I left on 4x. Once the card hit its max vram, fps started to drop. It wasn't throttling, it stayed at 1579mhz the whole time in the game.
It really did make my 970 perform better is most games, I noticed an improvement. 1580mhz and 4110mem clock. Tdp increase, voltage mod, along with a slight l2c, xbar and sys overclock.
@AskTJ is right here. First gen ryzens just feeds on high speed memory like a drug. Your ram is 2133 Mhz (fairly slow, 2400mhz is bare minimum for 1600x) and it is in single channel which makes it even worse. Swap the sticks immediately. Frame issue is probably a bottleneck because of ram as Fallout 4 was a breeze for me with i5 6500 and GTX 970.
